Contour Thread Lift - Can I Have the Threads Removed?

Rather than make a separate incision for each of the threadlift threads, you might want to consider having a facelift. Once the incisions are open, that is often the optimal time to remove the threads without having to go through the skin and make a host of small scars. And the problem that the threads were originally placed for is probably still present, and would probably benefit from a real facelift.
Visibility of the threads or constant discomfort are obvious indications to remove the threads, and this can generally be accomplished readily during the performance of a facelift.
The satisfaction rate with threadlifts on this website is 14%, the lowest of any procedure, so many other patients apparently feel your pain.

Removal of contour threads is tricky. Their design locks the suture into the tissue with it porcupine quill shape. Many times there is tissue ingrowth. The best opportunity to remove these threads is through a facelift incision. The threads can be visualized and then removed if desired. Once these threads are removed the descended tissues of the face can be resuspended in a more logical manner.
I do not recommend permanent sutures to suspend the face since a permanent structure can lead to a host of problems including infection, reaction, granuloma, etc. If your face is relying on a suture to hold it up at 1 month, your facelift is destined to fail. The only permanent suture in the body is scar, a.k.a. your body healing the tissues in a more rejuvenated fashion.

I do not recommend removing the threads unless they are causing a problem. In your case, it seems you are having discomfort. It is not easy to remove but if you go to an experienced doctor in placing and removing them, that would be your best option. Best,Andre Berger
